The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.

The structure of this book is a problem. Every time a POV begins to get interesting, we switch to an entirely different region and cast of characters. It makes it very difficult to become invested in any of the characters or the plot and just makes it horribly boring.
